Moving Apps to SD card and formatting- GTI9100

Hello Seniors,

I have some questions (basic newbie) if someone can clarify

1. Moving apps to SD card on rooted phones means - apps will be moved to Internal SD (USB Storage) or External SD card? How to find the path?
2. If I move apps to SD card, will those be purged while I make wipe data+wipe cache+dalvik+Format System procedure to flash a new ROM? Or it'll remain in SD and catch up back when the new ROM is in?? Big confusion

3. What does a Nandroid backup normally take? Would it keep ROM+ Apps in System Partition or just the ROM?

Apologies if questions sound weir, but hope some can throw sense on it

I moved your thread here and also sent you a p.m.
As far as moving apps to the sd card, I have not done that but I think if it can be done, they would get moved to the external card.

When flashing a new rom, I personally use Titanium Backup to save my user apps and data, then restore them after a flash. Titanium Backup is a fantastic app you can find in the PlayStore:)

A nandroid backup is a snapshot of your phone's current set up. Almost like a game save point, or a restore point on a computer. When you restore a backup from a nandroid, your phone will appear as is was when the backup was made....everything will be intact. Does that make sense?

Your questions are not wierd lol....no worries:) This is how we all learn, so don't be afraid to ask any question you wish :D
